Gage Horne Studios

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Castalia, NC for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Gage Horne is a wonderful videographer and vendor. My husband and I ended up getting lucky enough to book with Gage for our wedding, it was pretty last minute and he still made the whole process so seamless and perfect. On our actual wedding day he had the best energy and we truly felt lucky to have him as a part of our day. We got our video(s) back in a very timely manner and appreciated the thoughtfulness he used when putting it together. We enjoy watching our wedding video often, and will always have Gage to thank for that!

Hi, I'm Juan! A 26 year old videographer who started 9 years ago to work in the beautiful world of filmmakers, 7 years ago I did my first wedding and it was the most beautiful moment of my career, I cried behind the camera when I saw the couple crying at the ceremony. From that moment on I knew that this would be my specialty, that the importance that every bride and groom put in their wedding would be the same importance that I would put in making every video, every shot, every angle, every color, equally beautiful and important 💍 When you hire me is to hire the best price and the best quality.

I had the pleasure of working with Juan, a newcomer to the wedding industry, and I couldn't be more impressed with his passion, dedication, and hard work. Despite being new to the business, Juan displayed a level of commitment and enthusiasm that surpassed my expectations. His genuine love for his craft was evident in every shot he took and every moment he captured on film. Throughout the entire process, Juan was attentive to our needs, responsive to our requests, and always went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding memories were captured beautifully. His creative vision and attention to detail resulted in stunning photographs and an enchanting wedding video that we will cherish for a lifetime. While Juan may be new to the wedding industry, I have no doubt that he is destined to shine bright. His talent, passion, and dedication are undeniable, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. I have no doubt that he will become a sought-after name in the wedding industry, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer or videographer who truly cares about their craft.

Natasha and Michael were absolutely amazing. They were everything we hoped for and more during our wedding weekend. They both brought creative ideas and a clear vision for capturing our rehearsal dinner/welcome party, and on the wedding day itself. Natasha did a fantastic job working with us to plan the content we wanted to capture - with multiple meetings before the wedding, she was able to prioritize the footage (both edited and raw) we definitely wanted to have after the day was over. We received so many compliments about them from our family and friends after our wedding, with people saying how wonderful and nice they were. Both Natasha and Michael navigated a busy day with a large wedding party and multiple moving pieces very well, and were a large part of our day being a success. Overall, working with them was an outstanding experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend their content creation services. You won’t regret it!

After we got our film we HAD to drop a quick note about the amazing wedding video we got from Novel. It's seriously everything we could've hoped for! From the first chat to the reveal was awesome. They didn't just capture moments; they created a beautiful story with killer tunes and all the good stuff. What blew us away was how chill and natural everything felt. No awkward posing, no forced smiles—just real, genuine moments expertly captured. The editing? Flawless. Each frame looked like it could be in a magazine. The colors, the shots, that cinematic touch—absolutely nailed it. Working with Aidin was a breeze. They got our vibe, added some personal touches, and kept everything stress-free. Plus, they delivered on time without any fuss. Every angle was covered, and the sound quality is on point—vows, speeches, and all the happy noise. Our memories are forever captured, thanks to them!

I’m a wedding videographer located in Lubbock, TX and i love my job. When my wife and i got married everything was perfect except afterwords when all I had to remember of the biggest day of my life were still pictures!?! I deeply regretted not hiring a videographer for my wedding and have lost the chance to correct that mistake. Now I get to shoot gorgeous weddings with beautiful couples reflecting and capturing through video all the laughs, tears of joy, heart felt moments, and love between them. So that they can replay those moments in their hearts forever.

Working with Steph. Matthews for my wedding was absolutely amazing!! Before the wedding, Steph. made the planning process so easy; he was readily available to answer any and all questions my husband and I had, and he was willing to give suggestions in areas we didn't know what to do. On the day of the wedding Steph. got to the venue early to set up and get started, and we are so thankful he did! He was able to capture every part of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way! He is extremely easy to work with, he made everyone feel so comfortable and like they were a natural. I suggest using Steph. to everyone I know who is getting married soon! He made you feel like you had known him your whole life, which in turn automatically made everyone more relaxed. I can't thank him enough for all he did on my wedding day. I can't say enough good things about Steph. Matthews, I am truly so blessed and thankful he was able to capture my big day in a way that I will remember it so well. Again, I can't say enough good things about Steph. Matthews videography! I will forever be extremely thankful he captured my wedding day!!

The experience we had with Chad was 10/10. I'm a bit late reviewing but Chad did our wedding in May & I can't even put into words how great he was. We knew immediately Mist & Moss was perfect for us after meeting Chad on zoom when we were first searching for vendors. We knew nothing at all about wedding planning and he made us feel totally at ease, talked us through the whole process of how the video process worked and right off the bat made us feel like friends. The day of they were the PERFECT chill (but organized) presence we needed, they were there for every second and caught every moment perfectly. The final product WAY exceeded our expectations and we cannot thank you guys enough for our memories!!

Our passion for videography started at a young age for both of us. We weren't concerned about the type of cameras our families owned or the quality of those cherished home videos. What mattered to both of us was how it felt to capture memories through film. We are blessed to be able to now pursue our passion together as husband and wife. Cameras and video resolution have definitely upgraded from those old tape recorders, but our passion is still the same. ​

There aren't enough gold stars for this GOLD couple and their phenomenal videography business! Ryan Reid is one of the kindest, friendliest souls you will ever meet, which makes him so fun and easy to work with on your wedding day. He worked incredibly well with our photographers and was so good at reading the scene and knowing when/how to capture the BEST content right alongside them. He was our ultimate hype man throughout the whole wedding day, too! Always smiling, always cheering us on and making us smile big for the camera. We can't tell you how many family members and wedding guests complimented us on our videographer. My brother is professional video producer with a tenure producing video for the Atlanta Braves, and he RAVED about Ryan's talent and professionalism. We can't say enough good things about him and his wife, Sharol! If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding videographer, you will NOT regret it if you pick Reid Videography!!!

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra + Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food + Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
